To re-mix a media production can mean a number of different things, but the best way that I can describe a re-mix is to alter certain parts of a media production. Some argue that any media production is a re-mix of a theory that has already been discovered, but I believe this is a very broad way of looking at it. I like to narrow it down to certain structures of a media production. For example: A song comes on the radio in 2004 and is heard by a mass amount of people, well in 99.9% of these cases the creators of this song has already copywriter this song. In 2010, if someone comes along and speeds up the melodies, and adds different textures to the song and changes up the words, that would be re-mixing. This phenomana has been happening as long as media has been alive, but certainly at a high point in todays society. Most songs on the radio, or even stories broken out on news stains have originated from another source, it's hardly ever that we hear from the original source before we hear from a interpertation. A big cause for this would be all the different media outputs we have. I can turn on the TV and choose from 2 thousand different channels, or surf the web and find millions of websites, or listen to the radio and hear hundreds of stations. I don't think this is a bad thing, because it's actually a good thing for our future livelihood, but it definitely encourages much more people then it has in the past to make a move at getting their own name in the mix. I believe a re-mix is best described as a alteration of certain parts in a media production, and it happens so much now because of the accessibility to different media outputs.

The Fair use reasoning process consists of four factors which are to be considered as the nature of the content, the purpose of the content, the amount of the content and the effect on potential markets. These four factors cannot be the same as the original copy or else it would be considered theft of copyrighted material. The nature of the use is the meaning of the production and why it was created. Changing the nature of the use is important because without changing it, you would be doing nothing ore than copying the same content in the same way and presenting it as your own. The purpose of the use is the intent for the information being spread, and who it is spread to. If this aspect is not changed then the same purpose of the original production is being copied and sent out as your own purpose, when in fact it was someone else's before your own. The amount of the use should be kept extremely brief so that not too much of a production is revealed by one of your own. Finally the effect on potential markets should not be effected in different ways. If a production is stolen and used to make money this would be breaking the fair use acts. For our project 1 all of our pictures are copyrighted, but we are still allowed to use them because we either, altered the images to serve as a different purpose, or we used pictured to mean something different for the nature of our project than it was intended to mean.
